Carson has a worksheet that contains quite a few hyperlinks. He needs to remove the hyperlinks from a range of cells in the worksheet, but not all the cells. He wonders if there is an easy way to select some cells and remove the hyperlinks from just those cells.
There are two ways you can handle this—one without a macro and one with. The non-macro approach is quite easy:
If you prefer a macro-based approach, create this macro and place it in your Personal workbook:
Sub DelHyperlinks() Selection.Hyperlinks.Delete End Sub
Assuming you assign a shortcut key to the macro or add it to your Quick Access Toolbar, all you need to do is select the cells you want to affect (as in the previous steps) and then press the shortcut key or click the macro on the QAT.
